  • Episode 274 - Persistence Pays Off (ft. Ralph Strangis)
    Nov 19 2024

    What does an NHL franchise, a defunct wrestling promotion, and a professional Volleyball team have to do with each other? They were ALL stops that today's guest, Ralph Strangis, made on his way to the top!

    Yes, that's right, THE definitive voice of the Dallas Stars, Ralph Strangis, is on today's episode to share his story about how he navigated all of the twists and turns to stay true to himself and always be in the right place at the right time.

    I was truly honored to have Ralph on the show and the truth is, we didn't even come close to scratching the surface of his career, I sense future episodes about both the AWA and the Volleyball league are in our future.

    For now, let's sit back, relax, and let Ralph guide the story!

    Enjoy!

    About Ralph Strangis (via Ralph Statck)

    We’re coming up on 10 years since I left the Dallas Stars booth after 25 years at the mic. Spent recent years calling hockey and freelancing and teaching and acting and writing. I work for me.

    I’m going to write about hockey like almost no one else before.

    You’ll get honest, unfiltered, sarcastic and satirical content when it comes to the NHL and the hockey culture. Buckle up…

    I’ll teach you how to BET HOCKEY MY WAY. We’re gonna make money.

    I’ll have live chats during hockey games, special content for paid subscribers, contests, games, prizes, special guests and lots more.

    You’ll see musings on lots of other stuff too. And we’re gonna build a new kind of community here you and me. I’m looking forward to meeting old and new fans alike.

    Be happy, stay well -

    Ralph

  • Episode 273 - Heist Royale (ft. Kayvion Lewis)
    Nov 12 2024
    Are you ready to fall in love with a high octane thrill ride that's ALREADY been optioned for a motion picture!? Are you ready to read a book that's been described as a cinematic thriller that combines The Inheritance Games and Ocean's Eleven!? Then look no further, as Kayvion Lewis has the books you need! Kayvion is on the show today to discuss her latest book, 'Heist Royale'. She also discusses the unique circumstances where she even started writing and how wild it was to have your book optioned for a movie BEFORE it's even published! Enjoy! About Kayvion Lewis KAYVION LEWIS is a young adult author of all things escapist and high-octane. Her THIEVES' GAMBIT duology has been published in over 25 languages, and is being adapted for film by Lionsgate. A former youth services librarian, Kayvion's been working with young readers and kidlit since she was sixteen. When she’s not writing, she's breaking out of escape rooms, jumping out of airplanes, and occasionally running away to mountain retreats to study kung fu. Though she lives in Louisiana and often visits her family in The Bahamas, Kayvion never really knows when she'll take off on her next adventure, which could take her anywhere in the world.+ About 'Thieves' Gambit' The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s Eleven in this cinematic heist thriller where a cutthroat competition brings together the world’s best thieves and one thief is playing for the highest stakes of all: her mother's life. At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother’s life hanging in the balance. In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves’ Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn’t exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world—a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined. Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn’t Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win. About 'Heist Royale' In this high-stakes, high drama sequel to Thieves’ Gambit, Ross must find a way to out-heist the boy who betrayed her to protect her family—and her heart. It’s been six months since the end of the gambit. Instead of winning an impossible wish, Ross has the threat of her family’s execution hanging over her head. Devroe, the only person Ross thought she could trust, could wish the Quests into oblivion at any time. And shockingly, despite his betrayal and the two being forced to pull jobs together for the Organization, Devroe is still making a play for Ross’s heart. But Ross has learned her lesson. A Quest can only trust another Quest. When Ross finds herself at the center of a power struggle within the Organization, she sees her chance to change her fortunes. As a new deadly Gambit develops for control of the criminal underworld, Ross strikes a risky deal to guarantee protection for herself and her family. In this final clash, Ross will square off against a ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to seize power, and in their corner will be not only Devroe, but his mother, who wants to destroy the Quests at any cost. The new Gambit takes Ross and her crew into the intoxicating casinos of Monte Carlo and across treacherous snow-covered slopes in Antarctica, as Ross competes against Devroe in a fight for her life. Loyalties will be tested, backs stabbed, hearts broken. May the best thief win. Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website! Thanks to Empire Toys for this episode of the podcast!
